Monday Memorabilia/Collections: Lemax Witches Tower

And the last Lemax Spooky Town piece of the year (well, I might do one last write-up on Halloween itself, we’ll see), Witches Tower: I already told the story of how I acquired this at 80% off, so I’ll just add the usual review from Doug of Spooky Villages:...

The Zamo the Destroyer Show #222

New episode of The Zamo the Destroyer Show: After snooping through Technical Support Monkey’s phone, Zamo forbids Chimpette from hanging out with Squeaky Simon… even though she claims to have never met him. In other news, Pierre got a public art commission in Idaho and Zamo thinks there might...

Poem: Liftoff

flight/strides floating in the night sky bounding, leaping propulsion til my lungs burst then pause and do it again until I can no longer I long to feel that again seemingly weightless breaking free of the earth and my own resistance launched into indigo and lit by orange glow...

Friday Stitch Day update: October 22, 2021

No finishes this week, but so it goes. Let’s see here… we’ll start with some dye jobs. I got these plain white with black stars pillowcases at Homesense a while back and got around to dyeing them: And there was a bit more aida dyeing as well: There were...

Monday Memorabilia/Collections: Lemax Cave Sweet Cave

This week, a small and simple piece that is now the only retired piece I have, Cave Sweet Cave: It’s a battery powered piece that I keep on my bedside table for a little dose of Spooky Town. The two vampires wobble back and forth (they’re on small hanging...

Poem: Crown chakra

Skullcap lifted by raw energy popping forth pulling up to the heavens I write what I do not know —yet— vague words that sound true perhaps a distant memory dim understanding an echo from another life when I was more centered grounded —yet lifted— spinning high like a German...

Blog plans, my birthday, and some soaked flowers

Friday Stitch Day update: October 15, 2021

We have a finish! Well, a couple, but let’s work big to little: I buckled down and wove in the ends on the “Pretty Maids” by Joyce Fassbender shawl that I mentioned last week. Then I buckled down and wet-blocked it to really finish it and get it stretched...

Monday Memorabilia/Collections: Lemax The Ghoulish Gourd Pub & Grill

Well, I’ve been covering a lot of what I bought this year, but here’s a piece from last year, The Ghoulish Gourd Pub & Grill: It’s a fun piece for an entertainment or bar district theme. Or if you have a ton of pumpkin-styled pieces in your display. As...
